Best way to finish wall surface after foam-fill

[dave]

Just finished replacing handbasin waste with pvc pipe.

What is the best way to finish off after that foam-fill? Would mortar take to the foam? Silicon over the lot is easy (and waterproof of course) but as can't paint it, would look 'orrible. tia

PVA it and mortar it.

Why the blind link?

I'd excavate the foam to a depth of an inch and PVA before applying mortar while the PVA is tacky, the rough foam will key better and an inch of mortar will have a chance of staying together.

Scrape the foam back about 3/4-1", coat with PVA and put a bit of mortar in.

The main reason is because I don't know you and I can't see whether the link is benign or not, it could be taking me anywhere.

You're welcome.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Works fine here on Windows XP and Firefox 29 via a 3 dongle.

Strange, it worked for me yesterday, but not now on the same PC.
